i know the answer to this with regards to private landlords
they put the rent up on shops which close down. Surely some rent is better you might think. Not so, as by increasing the rent the landlord has increased the potential value of the property on paper, this allows them to borrow more money elsewhere for new projects.

Depends on the scheme innit
Landlords have to continue paying the business rates and utilities, plus a void is a void which won't help with bank covenants
