Toilet Repair in Denton, KY
Denton sits in the middle of both measures — 69% of housing built before 1990, 56% of households owning their home.
Short version
Tenure in Denton is close to even, at 56% owner-occupied and 44% rented. Where a home is rented the fixture is usually the landlord's to repair, so the lease decides who arranges the work and who is billed for it. At 69% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Denton’s housing suggests
Roughly 69% of housing here predates 1990 and 7% was built from 2000 onwards, so Denton has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

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 them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
