Toilet Repair in Key Biscayne, FL
In Key Biscayne, about 72% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 31% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
69% of occupied homes in Key Biscayne are owner-occupied and 31% 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 72% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Key Biscayne’s housing suggests
Roughly 72% of housing here predates 1990 and 15% was built from 2000 onwards, so Key Biscayne 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
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.
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.
