Abstract: Let $ \Gamma_A$ denote the abelian-by-cyclic group associated to an integer-valued, non-singular matrix $ A$. We show that if $ A$ has no eigenvalues of modulus one, then there are no faithful $ C^1$ perturbations of the trivial action $ \iota: \Gamma_A \to\mathrm{Diff}^1(M)$, where $ M$ is a compact manifold.
