State tax filing

It is not about your lease.   It is about where you LIVE and where you WORK.   When you move to NY, you start paying NY tax as soon as you are living and working there.  Move out of VA, you stop living and working there----so you will file a part year VA return for the income earned while living and working in VA, and a part year NY return for the time that you live and work in NY.
