<prompt> Human: Normally you have to pay one month rent as a security deposit. Is it possible to instead pay someone in 1-2 months rent worth of stocks, such as VTI vanguard total stock market etf. The benefit would be if you stay in your rental for 8 years, when your security deposit is returned to you, your stocks might be worth more, rather than leaving all that cash to not earn any interest.  <response>: Of course not.
