Toilet Repair in Gas City, IN
The housing in Gas City is mostly old — 90% of it predates 1990 — and tenure is genuinely mixed at 74% owner-occupied.
Short version
In Gas City the split runs 74% owner-occupied against 26% 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. Housing there is 90% pre-1990, so a pre-standard fixture using far more than 1.6 gallons a flush is a real possibility — though that dates the house, not the toilet.

What the age of Gas City’s housing suggests

It is a statement about the housing stock. A house built in 1935 has had ninety years in which somebody could have replaced the toilet, and many have.

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.
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.
