Toilet Repair in Fort Loramie, OH
About 55% of homes in Fort Loramie were built before 1990 and 91% of households own theirs, so the fixture could be either generation and the repair is yours.
Short version
91% of occupied homes in Fort Loramie 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 splits either side of 1990 at 55% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What is actually wrong with it
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
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.
