Toilet Repair in Pryor, OK
Pryor is mixed on both counts: 65% of its housing predates 1990, and 69% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
69% of occupied homes in Pryor are owner-occupied and 31% 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. At 65% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Pryor’s housing suggests
Pryor is a mixed-age town — 65% of its homes were built before 1990. That puts a pre-standard fixture somewhere around even odds before you look at anything.
Looking is easy, and it beats the average: most tanks carry a date on the underside of the lid.

| Built before 1940 | 2% |

| Built 1990 onwards | 35% |

What is actually wrong with it
Work from the symptom rather than the fixture. Continuous running has a ten-minute test that settles it; water at the base is identified by when it appears rather than where; and a handle that does nothing is visible the moment the tank lid is off.
Ask them to name the fault before they name the price. “The toilet needs replacing” is not a diagnosis; “the flapper seat is pitted and will not hold a new flapper” is, and it happens to be a common one.
