Toilet Repair in Kennedale, TX
Only 44% of the housing in Kennedale predates 1990, and tenure is mixed with 78% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Kennedale the split runs 78% owner-occupied against 22% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Kennedale’s housing suggests
With only 44% of homes built before 1990, Kennedale 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.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
