It looks like some sort of Pothos, I would probably cut deadleaves off and make sure it isn’t getting too much direct sunlight!

i agree with the person above probably golden pothos by the coloring

Insufficient water is my guess. Leaves turning yellow, then, crispy is usually under watering and/or low humidity. Turning soggy, limp and black at the leaf tips is usually overwatering. Gray or black spots on several leaves exposed to direct sun, but, not on shaded leaves is sunburn.

Check the roots to verify. Soggy, mushy and smelly roots is root rot from overwatering. Dry roots could be under watering. Water when soil dries to 1 inch deep. Increase humidity with an humidifier or pebble tray filled with water under the plant ensuring the pot is not sitting in water. Good luck 🍀
