Toilet Repair in Kenner, LA
In Kenner, 79% of the housing was built before 1990. About 61% of households own their home and 39% rent, so this page has two readers.
Short version
61% of occupied homes in Kenner are owner-occupied and 39% 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 79% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Kenner’s housing suggests
Housing in Kenner is mostly older than the standard: 79% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

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.
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.
