Damaged Leaves

Hello Everybody,
I have a couple of plants that have damaged leaves, I believe from sun burn. Hopefully not some sort of odd infection. Should I remove the leaves or let them die and fall of naturally?

Hey lazy,

Sunscald for sure. They dont need to be removed. Unless you care for aesthetics reasons. They should still be serving their purpose.
Got a few leaves on my own, i just leave them till they fall off.
 
I would at least remove that one that's all brown and splotchy.
That's like an open sore on your plant, and could allow an infection to set in.
 
That badly burnt one is likely going to fall off eventually. If it got the tiniest bit worse, I'd remove it immediately. No sense for the plant to devote energy to keeping that leaf alive. Plenty of other green growth on the plant to support it. Also agree with SD- that is a damaged leaf and susceptible to disease and other bad things.
