W2 employee who works remotely but rents an office - deduction?

I am a W-2 employee for a company and I work remotely. Previously I worked from home, but beginning Oct 2019 I began leasing an office space because I needed to gain the "home office" space that I used for work stuff back -- I pay out of pocket for this office, my name is the name on the lease, my company is not. I am not seeing where I can enter this as an unreimbursed work expense (I'm not self employed). I also had to get an insurance policy to be able to get the space, how can I claim these expenses as deductions?

You cannot deduct any of that.  W-2 employees cannot deduct any job-related expenses on a federal return since the tax law changed for 2018 and beyond.
