Toilet Repair in Fort Lupton, CO
Neither figure in Fort Lupton points one way. 59% of the housing was built before 1990 and 29% of households are renting.
Short version
71% of occupied homes in Fort Lupton are owner-occupied and 29% are rented, which is close enough to even that the first question is which you are. A landlord is generally responsible for a fixture in a tenancy; an owner is not. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 59% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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.
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.
