Toilet Repair in Ashville, OH
Ashville is mixed on both counts: 50% of its housing predates 1990, and 73% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
In Ashville the split runs 73% owner-occupied against 27% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. At 50% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Ashville’s housing suggests
About 50% of homes in Ashville predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

What is actually wrong with it
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
