Moving Expenses

Can I deduct the cost the apartment complex charged me to have the apartment painted and professionally cleaned when I had to move? As well If I moved some of my items and had to buy a cover to protect them  from the elements can I claim that?

    Moving expenses are not deductible on a federal tax return unless you are active military on Permanent Change of Station orders.
