Browning form the tips back is a often a sign of root damage. Are you over watering it perhaps since you've brought it indoors? You could lift it and check the condition of the bottom roots.

Normal fall leaf loss usually starts as an all-over leaf effect- i.e., the entire leaf begins color changes as it dies. Then the browning occurs. When the leaf dies back progressively, it is often something else.

It is also possible it's fungal in nature, but this again generally leads back to water/ventilation conditions...

A picture posted to the gallery might help.
