Toilet Repair in Villas, NJ
Most homes in Villas were built before 1990 and most of them are owner-occupied, which is the combination where a toilet is both likely to be old and definitely yours to deal with.
Short version
86% of occupied homes in Villas are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. Housing there is 88% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Villas’s housing suggests
With 88% of homes built before 1990, Villas sits firmly on the old side of the flush-volume line. EPA describes pre-standard toilets as using 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons per flush, and older ones as much as 6.
The house is what this dates. If you want to know about the fixture itself, the date is usually molded inside the tank lid.

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.
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.
