no_unset_on_propertyProperties should be set to null instead of using unset.
This rule is RISKY
Risky when relying on attributes to be removed using ``unset`` rather than be
set to ``null``. Changing variables to ``null`` instead of unsetting means these
still show up when looping over class variables and reference properties remain
unbroken. Since PHP 7.4, this rule might introduce ``null`` assignments to
properties whose type declaration does not allow it.
