Toilet Repair in Columbiana, OH
In Columbiana, about 63% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 33% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
67% of occupied homes in Columbiana are owner-occupied and 33% 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. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 63% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Columbiana’s housing suggests
About 63% of homes in Columbiana predate 1990. That is close enough to even that the town average tells you very little about any one house, which is worth saying rather than dressing up.
What it does tell you is that both generations of fixture are common here, and they fail in different ways.

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.
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.
