Toilet Repair in Wilsonville, OR
In Wilsonville, 48% of households are renting, in housing that is mostly newer: just 33% of it predates 1990.
Short version
In Wilsonville, 48% of occupied homes are rented. That usually puts the toilet on the landlord's side of the line, so a tenant's job is to report the fault rather than to find somebody to fix it. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Wilsonville’s housing suggests
With only 33% of homes built before 1990, Wilsonville is a town of modern fixtures. EPA’s WaterSense label goes further than the standard at 1.28 gallons per flush.
The figure is about construction dates rather than what is bolted to the floor, but in a town this new the two are less likely to have diverged.

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.
