Toilet Repair in Arjay, KY
Arjay is a renting town with newer housing. 45% of households rent, and only 40% of homes were built before 1990.
Short version
Renting is the majority position in Arjay, at 45% of occupied homes. A fixture in a tenancy is generally the landlord's responsibility to repair, which makes the lease the first document to look at and not the last. Most of the housing there postdates 1990, so a 1.6 gallon fixture is the likely one, and age is rarely the explanation.

What the age of Arjay’s housing suggests
Only 40% of housing units in Arjay 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
Four complaints cover nearly all of it, and they are different faults rather than degrees of one. Running is the flapper or the fill valve. Nothing at all is usually the chain or a blockage. Water on the floor is four possibilities, one of which is not a leak. A weak flush is the water level, the chain, or the specification.
Ask which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
