Toilet Repair in Berlin Center, OH
In Berlin Center, 87% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 71% of it is older than that.
Short version
In Berlin Center, 87% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 71% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
