Toilet Repair in Lawrenceburg, TN
In Lawrenceburg, about 69% of homes predate 1990 and roughly 29% of households rent. Both halves of this page apply to somebody here.
Short version
In Lawrenceburg the split runs 71% owner-occupied against 29% 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 69% pre-1990, so flush volume is worth checking rather than assuming.

What the age of Lawrenceburg’s housing suggests
About 69% of homes in Lawrenceburg 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
Start by naming the symptom precisely, because the four common ones have nothing in common mechanically. A tank that never stops refilling, a handle that does nothing, water appearing at the floor and a flush that needs two goes are four separate repairs.
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.
