Toilet Repair in Jackson Center, OH
In Jackson Center, about 70% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 32% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
68% of occupied homes in Jackson Center are owner-occupied and 32% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 70% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

Jackson Center is a mixed-age town — 70% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

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.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
