Toilet Repair in Oregonia, OH
Oregonia has a mixed-age housing stock, 52% of it built before 1990, in a town where 92% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Oregonia, 92% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 52% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Oregonia’s housing suggests
About 52% of homes in Oregonia predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
