Toilet Repair in West Chester, OH
In West Chester, about 50% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 22% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In West Chester the split runs 78% owner-occupied against 22% 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 50% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

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.
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.
