Toilet Repair in Harveysburg, OH
In Harveysburg, about 63% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 26% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
74% of occupied homes in Harveysburg are owner-occupied and 26% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. At 63% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
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.
