Toilet Repair in Mission Hills, CA
The housing in Mission Hills is mostly old — 91% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 72% owner-occupied.
Short version
In Mission Hills the split runs 72% owner-occupied against 28% 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. Housing there is 91% pre-1990, so a pre-standard fixture using far more than 1.6 gallons a flush is a real possibility — though that dates the house, not the toilet.

What the age of Mission Hills’s housing suggests
Mission Hills is old housing by this measure — 91% of its 5,672 housing units predate 1990, and 3% were built before 1940. Anything installed new in those homes was a pre-standard fixture at 3.5 gallons or more, against 1.6 today.
Plenty of them have been changed since, and this data cannot tell you whether yours has. It tells you what the odds are for the street rather than the room.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
