Toilet Repair in Eagle Creek, OR
In Eagle Creek, 81% of households own their home, and the housing splits fairly evenly either side of 1990 — 68% of it is older than that.
Short version
In Eagle Creek, 81% 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 68% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Eagle Creek’s housing suggests
About 68% of homes in Eagle Creek 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
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.
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.
