Why is this happening? This plant is kind of close to a vent so I was wondering if it’s too close to heat ?

Monstera likes heat, so it’s probably something else. I would make sure that it’s getting enough water and and is in a humid location

Is it getting direct sunlight?? the dry heat or super bright direct sunlight (for too long) can do this. It’s definitely looking like burn damage, root rot or pests don’t look like this almost ever!
