Toilet Repair in Bulan, KY
Bulan is a new town by the standards of this data — 44% of housing built before 1990 — with 83% of households owning their home.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 83% of the occupied homes in Bulan. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Bulan’s housing suggests
Bulan is newer than most: just 44% of its 498 housing units predate 1990. The flush-volume question that dominates older towns mostly does not arise here.
What does arise is the opposite one. Early fixtures built to meet the new limit cut the water without redesigning the bowl, and some of them flush poorly by design.

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
