Toilet Repair in Pinellas Park, FL
The housing in Pinellas Park is mostly old — 79% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 69% owner-occupied.
Short version
69% of occupied homes in Pinellas Park 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 is 79% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of Pinellas Park’s housing suggests
Pinellas Park is old housing by this measure — 79% of its 22,951 housing units predate 1990, and 1% 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
Which of these is it? Running continuously, not flushing at all, flushing weakly, leaking at the floor, or moving when you sit on it. Each has a different cause and only one of them is urgent.
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.
