Toilet Repair in Union City, IN
Union City is a town of older homes, 86% of them built before 1990, where a little over a third of households are renting.
Short version
73% of occupied homes in Union City are owner-occupied and 27% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there is 86% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Union City’s housing suggests
Union City is old housing by this measure — 86% of its 2,418 housing units predate 1990, and 45% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
