Toilet Repair in Hamilton, OH
In Hamilton, about 65% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 28% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
Tenure in Hamilton is close to even, at 72% owner-occupied and 28% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 65% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Hamilton’s housing suggests
Roughly 65% of housing here predates 1990 and 22% was built from 2000 onwards, so Hamilton has both generations in quantity.
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
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
