Toilet Repair in West Chesterfield, NH
Two things are true of West Chesterfield at once. The housing is old — 79% of it predates 1990 — and at 87% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
87% of occupied homes in West Chesterfield are owner-occupied, so a failed toilet there is almost always the occupant's own to repair and the occupant's own to pay for. Nothing has to be cleared with anybody before the work is arranged. Housing there is 79% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of West Chesterfield’s housing suggests
Housing in West Chesterfield is mostly older than the standard: 79% of it went up before 1990. A toilet fitted when those homes were built used at least twice what a current one does.
Whether the original is still there is a different question, and the only way to settle it is to look at the fixture.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
On an older fixture that is being lifted anyway, ask what the difference is between putting this one back and setting a new one down. Frequently the work is the same and only the part differs, which is the one moment when replacement is worth thinking about.
