Toilet Repair in New Lebanon, OH
The housing in New Lebanon is mostly old — 81% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 80% owner-occupied.
Short version
80% of occupied homes in New Lebanon are owner-occupied and 20% 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 is 81% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of New Lebanon’s housing suggests
New Lebanon is old housing by this measure — 81% of its 2,575 housing units predate 1990, and 12% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
