Garbage Disposal Repair in New Plymouth, ID
In New Plymouth the disposal under the sink is almost always the household's own machine, on a drain line nobody else uses. 83% of the housing here is detached houses, and that is what decides who arranges the repair and who pays.
The quick answer
83% of the housing in New Plymouth is detached houses, which usually makes a garbage disposal the occupant's own machine on the occupant's own drain line. That settles who arranges the repair and who pays for it before anything is taken apart.

US Census Bureau, ACS 5-year estimates 2023, table B25024 (units in structure). Based on 2,106 housing units in and around New Plymouth, occupied or not.
The Idaho average runs 8 points higher, so this town is not typical of its state.
That figure counts housing units rather than households, and it includes units standing empty — it describes the building stock, not the people in it.
Whose disposal is it
Whose appliance is it? That decides who pays, and it is worth two minutes with the lease before it is worth a phone call.
The symptom does most of the diagnosis here. A motor that hums without turning is the most common call and often the easiest thing to clear.
And before any of that, the thing that prevents most of these calls: what should not go down it. Grease and fibrous waste cause more disposal failures than wear does.
