Toilet Repair in Lisbon, OH
Lisbon is mixed on both counts: 75% of its housing predates 1990, and 72% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
In Lisbon the split runs 72% owner-occupied against 28% rented. That makes responsibility a matter of your own address rather than the town's pattern, and it is worth settling before anybody is called out to the property. Housing there splits either side of 1990 at 75% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Lisbon’s housing suggests
About 75% of homes in Lisbon 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.
Two questions are worth asking whoever comes: which part they tested before reaching a conclusion, and whether anything under the fixture needs attention. The second one is what separates a repair that lasts from one that repeats.
