obviously not knowing your home conditions and your routine does not really allow me insight into what might be wrong, but brown leaves near the tip are usually point to 3 possibilities: watering issue, light issue or nutrient issue. i’d ask when the last time you fertilized was or if there were any changes made in care since the time you had it. watering with purified water can sometimes help too if your tap waters fluoride is too high
