Toilet Repair in Fairdale, KY
Neither figure in Fairdale points one way. 69% of the housing was built before 1990 and 33% of households are renting.
Short version
Tenure in Fairdale is close to even, at 67% owner-occupied and 33% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 69% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
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.
