Toilet Repair in West Alexandria, OH
Two things are true of West Alexandria at once. The housing is old — 77% of it predates 1990 — and at 83% owner-occupied, the repair decision is the reader's own.
Short version
In West Alexandria, 83% of occupied homes are lived in by their owners. That puts the fixture, the decision and the bill in the same pair of hands, which is why the practical question is what is wrong rather than whose job it is. Housing there is 77% pre-1990, which dates the house rather than the fixture.

What the age of West Alexandria’s housing suggests
Housing in West Alexandria is mostly older than the standard: 77% 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
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 which part was tested before the fixture was blamed. On a running toilet that means the dye test; on a leak at the base it means whether the flange was looked at. A quote to reset a toilet that does not mention the flange has not established why the last seal failed.
