Toilet Repair in Ocklawaha, FL
Ocklawaha is mixed on both counts: 65% of its housing predates 1990, and 79% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
79% of occupied homes in Ocklawaha are owner-occupied and 21% 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. At 65% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Ocklawaha’s housing suggests
65% of Ocklawaha’s 5,204 housing units were built before 1990. EPA puts pre-standard toilets at 3.5 to more than 5.0 gallons a flush against 1.6 for anything built to the standard.
In a town this evenly split the age of the house is a weak guide, and it is the age of the house rather than the toilet in any case.

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.
If you are quoted for a new fixture, ask what ruled out the parts. Flappers and fill valves are inexpensive and account for most of what goes wrong, so replacing the toilet without testing them has skipped a step.
