Toilet Repair in Belfry, KY
In Belfry, about 54% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 24% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
76% of occupied homes in Belfry are owner-occupied and 24% 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 splits either side of 1990 at 54% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
