My RFM rights has been violated by NYCHA due to discriminatory actions of the management office. No probationary period has been implemented neither any mediation has taken place. The said premise is in need of extensive repairs and is in uninhabitable living conditions which are the results of years of landlord neglect. The landlord/owner has harassed me by trying to force me to move or give up my rights by sending multiple notices to quit without consideration of my court ordered RELIEF FROM CIVIL DISABILITIES certificate or my RFM rights and neglecting due process. I have been a resident without any gaps in between for the past 30 years.

no reword my paragraph for me
Certainly! Here's a reworded version of your paragraph:
I believe my RFM rights have been violated by NYCHA due to discriminatory actions from the management office. There has been no probationary period or mediation. The property requires extensive repairs and is currently uninhabitable, resulting from years of landlord neglect. I've faced harassment from the landlord, who has tried to force me to move or relinquish my rights by sending numerous eviction notices, disregarding my court-ordered Relief From Civil Disabilities certificate and my RFM rights, and failing to respect due process. I have lived there continuously for the past 30 years.
