Toilet Repair in Notus, ID
Notus is mixed on both counts: 57% of its housing predates 1990, and 79% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
79% of occupied homes in Notus 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 57% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Notus’s housing suggests
About 57% of homes in Notus predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
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.
