Help- my rubber tree is sad! Dropping leaves.

Hi, I received a beautiful rubber tree 6 months ago when I moved into my new apartment. It is south facing, although the plant was doing well up until about a month ago. It's since lost nearly 3/4 of its leaves!
I've been barely watering it, and I mist it once a week or so. Is this the normal winter phase? It's loosing the really healthy looking full green leaves. The tips are still producing little fresh leaves too. Am I doing something wrong or is it perhaps just my too-dark apartment? Come summer, when I am able to move it outside, is there anything I can do to promote more growth?
