Chat and email are independent

Sending a chat message and sending an email are two separate decisions. Supply chatMessage for the first, emailMessage for the second, or both. Supplying neither still stamps notificationSentAt.

The violation must have a lease

A violation raised against a property or a unit with no lease has nobody to notify, and this call fails.

One chat message goes to the lease's shared thread, not one per tenant. If the lease has no chat thread yet, one is created.
