Toilet Repair in Plant City, FL
Plant City sits in the middle of both measures — 54% of housing built before 1990, 72% of households owning their home.
Short version
In Plant City 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. At 54% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Plant City’s housing suggests
54% of Plant City’s 30,181 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
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
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.
