Toilet Repair in Mound, MN
About 74% of homes in Mound were built before 1990 and 81% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 81% of the occupied homes in Mound. 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. At 74% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Mound’s housing suggests
Roughly 74% of housing here predates 1990 and 16% was built from 2000 onwards, so Mound 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
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
