Toilet Repair in Jordanville, NY
In Jordanville, about 75% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 20% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
80% of occupied homes in Jordanville are owner-occupied and 20% 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 75% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
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.
