Toilet Repair in Avon By The Sea, NJ
The housing in Avon By The Sea is mostly old — 84% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 66% owner-occupied.
Short version
66% of occupied homes in Avon By The Sea are owner-occupied and 34% 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 84% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Avon By The Sea’s housing suggests
84% of housing units in Avon By The Sea were built before 1990, which is to say before the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set a 1.6 gallon maximum. EPA puts pre-standard fixtures at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush.
That is about the house, not about your bathroom: a 1968 home may be on its third toilet. What the figure says is that in a town like this, an original fixture is a live possibility rather than a curiosity.

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.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
