Can I write off painting apartment on taxes?

I have lived in the same apartment for over 5 years and been thinking now of painting all 6 rooms. The building just got sold, and although I’ll be staying I’m afraid my new landlord may refuse to paint or to reimburse me for painting the place. Could I potentially do it myself ( with the landlord’s authorization) and be write it off my taxes?

    No.

    If the building just got sold the new landlord may buy the paint if you do the work. He may also take some money off your rent.

    But tax deductable, nope.
