Toilet Repair in Woodbridge, VA
Woodbridge is mixed on both counts: 53% of its housing predates 1990, and 72% of households own rather than rent.
Short version
72% of occupied homes in Woodbridge are owner-occupied and 28% 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 53% pre-1990, the housing gives no strong steer on flush volume, which makes the tank label worth a look.

What the age of Woodbridge’s housing suggests
Roughly 53% of housing here predates 1990 and 30% was built from 2000 onwards, so Woodbridge has both generations in quantity.
Which one is in your bathroom is not something this data can reach. It dates construction, not fixtures, and the two come apart every time somebody remodels.

What is actually wrong with it
Most calls are one of five things, and the useful first step is deciding which. Three of them — running, a weak flush and no flush at all — live inside the tank. The other two, a leak at the base and a rocking fixture, are underneath it and are related to each other.
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.
