Toilet Repair in West Monroe, NY
About 58% of homes in West Monroe were built before 1990 and 88% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 88% of the occupied homes in West Monroe. 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 58% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of West Monroe’s housing suggests

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
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.
