    The tail piece has a small tee where the dishwasher drain connects. You can plug that small tee or more properly replace the tail piece with one designed for no dushwasher. Kind of unusual for a seller to take ta dishwasher. Unless stipulated in the sale it is a built in fixture and should remain. Why not be a hero and buy a dishwasher?
