Toilet Repair in Jackson, SC
Jackson has a mixed-age housing stock, 67% of it built before 1990, in a town where 83% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Jackson, 83% 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 67% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Jackson’s housing suggests
Roughly 67% of housing here predates 1990 and 19% was built from 2000 onwards, so Jackson has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
