Toilet Repair in Beattyville, KY
In Beattyville, about 58% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 28% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
72% of occupied homes in Beattyville are owner-occupied and 28% 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 58% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Beattyville’s housing suggests
Beattyville straddles the line: 58% of its housing units were built before 1990, when the Energy Policy Act of 1992 set the 1.6 gallon maximum, and the rest since.
So the housing stock genuinely does not predict the fixture here, and the date inside the tank lid is worth more than any figure on this page.

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.
