3rd floor bath

Tenant had a problem with toilet so I let tenant take care of the repair.
First the flapper was replaced and I reimbursed last year for $94.
Then, still a problem and needed new toilet and now cost about $390. WFT!
Is that the going rate?

There are only a few reasons to have to replace a whole toilet. One is if it is actually broken. The other two only happen if the toilet is very old and you have very hard water. Even then it is rare

Few years ago, I have a small leak in the toilet at my rental.
Plumber said to replace the toilet but I thought it was a bad flap inside the tank.
I put a new flapper and still the toilet leak.
It was a small water leaking to the bowl but tenant complained. Shouldn't cost that much on water bill.
So eventually I hired an unlicensed contractor to put a new toilet. Fortunately, the toilet is working fine.
Don't remember paying $390. Maybe a $100 labor fee plus cost of new toilet from Home Depot.
