Toilet Repair in Kennesaw, GA
In Kennesaw the housing is mostly newer — just 32% predates 1990 — and 69% of households are owner-occupiers.
Short version
In Kennesaw the split runs 69% owner-occupied against 31% 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. With most homes built since 1990, the fixture is probably already a 1.6 gallon one and its age is unlikely to be the fault.

What the age of Kennesaw’s housing suggests
Only 32% of housing units in Kennesaw were built before 1990. In a town like this the interesting question is not how much water the fixture uses but why a relatively new one is misbehaving.
Usually the answer is the flapper or the fill valve, both of which wear on a schedule of their own regardless of how new the house is.

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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
