Toilet Repair in Bridgeview, IL
Bridgeview is mixed on both counts: 67% of its housing predates 1990, and 66% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
66% of occupied homes in Bridgeview are owner-occupied and 34% 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 67% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Bridgeview’s housing suggests
About 67% of homes in Bridgeview 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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
