During my work-related move I subletted an apartment for one month while searching for a home. Is this expense considered a moving expense?

No, temporary living expenses aren't deductible as moving expenses.

No. You can deduct the cost of transportation and lodging for yourself and members of your household while traveling from your former home to your new home.
