I wrote a more thoughtful reply but had poor cell service and lost it when posting. In my original comment I mentioned that communication would likely help here. Asking your parents to sit down and have a conversation about your future. Saying to them, "I really appreciate your help in paying for my apartment. That said, I have some things that are important to me regarding where I live. Can we discuss this? I would like to be part of the process."

Still, I stand by me original comment. He would benefit from some hard knocks.
