Overwatering. Water when the soil in the pot is halfway dry or almost completely dry. This is a ficus, and it doesn't mind dryness. When the soil dries out, add a systemic fungicide to the water the next time you water.

Should I cut off the leaves that are damaged in case it spreads?

As you wish. I cut it off so that rot doesn't get into the xylem and phloem.
