    This is likely a Leaf Spot disease.
    This link has more information.

    1. Trim off brown leaf tips or spots with clean shears. Cut off only the damaged tips or spots leaving a tiny margin of brown so not to damage the remaining healthy foliage on the plant.
    2. If the entire leaf has turned brown, remove individual leaves at their base. Pull the leaf gently; it may come off on its own. If the leaf doesn’t separate with gentle pulling, snip through the stem with clean shears.

    Leaves drying out is usually more likely to be under-watering or root disturbance. But if the plant was over-watered for a long period of time, then root rot is possible.
    Whether or not it will recover with the new growing conditions depends on how much root damage there was, and on your new watering and fertility program. Give it some time and TLC.

    This can be quite normal. This can also happen if there is too much nutrients near the roots. They are epiphytes and will easily burn. If you can include a photo then I will be able to help you a little better. It will be much easier to see what is going on.

    No, leaf damage will not heal.
    Give the plant time to acclimate and wait until you have active growth before trimming any damaged leaves.
