Toilet Repair in New Carlisle, OH
New Carlisle has old housing and a mixed tenure: 83% of homes predate 1990, and 20% of households rent. Which of those you are changes the whole answer.
Short version
80% of occupied homes in New Carlisle are owner-occupied and 20% 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 is 83% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of New Carlisle’s housing suggests

It is a statement about the housing stock. A house built in 1935 has had ninety years in which somebody could have replaced the toilet, and many have.

What is actually wrong with it
The fault list is short. A running tank and a weak flush are both usually parts inside the tank. A leak at the base is the one that damages the building, and a fixture that rocks is the one that causes it.
Ask what happens to the floor. A leak at the base has usually been going for a while by the time it is visible, and whether the subfloor and flange are sound is the difference between a seal replacement and a return visit.
