Toilet Repair in Frankfort, KY
In Frankfort, about 65% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 35% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
65% of occupied homes in Frankfort are owner-occupied and 35% 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 65% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Frankfort’s housing suggests
Roughly 65% of housing here predates 1990 and 17% was built from 2000 onwards, so Frankfort has both generations in quantity.
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
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.
