Toilet Repair in Radnor, OH
Radnor is an owner-occupied town whose housing straddles 1990: 65% of it predates that year, which is where the flush-volume standard divides old fixtures from new.
Short version
Owner-occupiers hold 96% of the occupied homes in Radnor. For most households there the toilet is theirs outright, so the repair can be arranged directly without a landlord, an agent or a lease in the way. At 65% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Radnor’s housing suggests
Radnor straddles the line: 65% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
